Anyone heard of Gaia Flooring and Medieval Floors?

8 måneder siden

I would like to choose between Gaia Flooring Black Series Rhea in 10mm thickness and Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection Madrid in 10mm thickness. Anything else different between the thickness and the wear layer? Any experiences with these flooring materials would be a great help.

If you read the Medieval Floors discussion thread you can see someone people discussed about Gaia Flooring as well. It seems Gaia Flooring recently took down all their 400 or 500 discussions & reviews from Houzz due to too many negative reviews and comments on there.

To my understanding, these are the differences between the Gaia Flooring Black Series & Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection: (someone please fix if I get it wrong)

1. Gaia Flooring Black Series has a lvt layer (plastic layer) before the stone, therefore, it's making the floor a little warmer on the feet than the Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection as it doesn't have that layer (but it's very hard to feel the different). However, due to it being with less stones inside the core, the Black Series is lighter than the Super SPC Collection, more prone to bending if to compare between the two.

2. Gaia Flooring Black Series is about 11 inches longer than the Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection.

3. Medieval Floors Super SPC is 30mil wear layer; Gaia Flooring Black Series is 20mil wear layer.

4. Gaia Flooring Black Series comes with 1.5mm underlayment; Medieval Floors comes with 2mm.

5. Gaia Flooring Black Series locking system also different from the Medieval Floors.

6. Gaia Flooring Black Series comes with lots of textures and grains where some people think it's hard to clean while the Medieval Floors Super SPC Collection comes with lesser textures to minimize dirts trapped into the textures of wood grains on the planks.

7. Colors and how many pattern-repeats

I think I've covered everything. I hope this helps.

Duplicate. I would suggest deleting this one top avoid multiple replies and making the other posters crazy.

I'm not sure why I can't even see my own question posted online if I try searching using my phone. How did you see this post?

Here are the installed pictures of the Madrid color that I also just posted on the Medieval Floors houzz discussions as well. It’s a light natural wood color. The color is much nicer in person, a lot more natural.

I installed Gaia Pichi from the Red series in our guest room remodel this summer. I chose Pichi because it matched my color tones and the thickness met the transition height to an adjacent tile floor. The installation process was pretty straight forward and the results turned out well. We considered the Rhea because it has a consistant tonal range, which is hard to find in LVP flooring, but the color was a little bright for our room.

Flooring manufacturers don't tend to advertise their pattern repeats. It turns out the Gaia Pichi had five patterns and five reverses. As I unloaded the planks I labled them with pattern numbers; 1, 1R, 2, 2R, etc. Using the numbers in the layout allowed me to avoid having pattern repeats adjacent to each other. For a room that was 17' square I purchased two extra boxes of tile. This proved to be fortunate as the very last box gave me enough of all tiles varieties to maintain the pattern separation.

Overall we're very happy with the flooring. The install is only 3 months old and the room doesn't get a lot of traffic but, so far, it cleans easy and looks great. We have no complaints.

To me a light color with many repeated same knots is not as nice as any warmer tones wood colors with knots. I found this Gaia's review on Youtube, hope it helps.

To address the links above regarding those squeaks, it is due to improper floor prep.

We sell both Medieval Floors & Gaia Floors for over four plus years and never had a issue with either or company.
